Today is my blogiversary. My little blog is 2 years old now, and we've been through a lot.
Ups and downs of emotional roller coasters. Losing friends, making friends, that whole Prince Charming annoying-ness. It started with three followers, and last year at this time I was up to 26! Yeah! And now I've got 60!
60 followers. And still only 9 or so people who visit and less who leave comments. It's okay. And you know why it's okay? Because I'm not going to resonate with every person who reads my blog. I'm not going to try and aim to speak to every person - because guess why?
This is my blog, and I write for me! And some people just aren't interested in what I have to say, and that's totally okay. We are all people. We are all allowed to have our own points of view, our own opinions and our own thoughts, and they don't have to be the same as everyone else.
Because, well really, but just how boring would that be? I mean seriously.
So, in celebration of my blog's birthday, I'll list some of my favorite past posts:
My Fear Of Phone Calls
Where My Brother Bludgeons A "Gopher"
The Routine (Fiction)
My Active Imagination
Every Ending Has A New Beginning
How To Feel Beautiful
Drink Suggestions
Hesitation Where Love Is Concerned (Fiction)

Time Flies
Today is my blogiversary. My little blog has now been going for a whole year and is still gaining momentum!
This time last year I published this post and launched myself into the blogosphere head first in icy cold water.
I had threestalkers followers. My Aunt, My Grandparents and Prince Charming.
My dad also avidly reads my blog. He loves to see what I have to say. Since I no longer live in his house, it's a good way to see what trouble I wreak on the daily.
Also going back in time to that fateful day one year ago in my short but seemingly long life, I was living in this same wing of this same building, albeit I had a roommate and Dear Prince-y lived a mere two hours away so I could only see him on the weekends.
Belle and I were still best and best friends could be and we were really enjoying what college life and our dorm hall had to offer. We were caught up in the midst of making new friends, skipping classes, eating omelets and drinking apple juice and taking dorky freshmen girl pictures in front of the vanity in our prison cell sized dorm room.
Now though, Belle is completely different (and I probably am too). She lives in an apartment off campus with Zelda and another girl whom shall for now and always be referred to as "The Crazy One" for reasons that can only be explained in another post if ever I feel as though I should allow you the comfort of knowing exactly the large extent of her craziness and weirdly strange behavior that could not have been seen prior to her live in arrangement with two people I love dearly.
Wow. After that sentence, I need a drink of water. Pause for a sec, okay?
Okay, I'm back. Whew. Refreshing. Ahem, alright, on with the post?
This year I have a completely different major also, which. I. am. loving. to. death. *happy sigh*
And Prince no longer lives two hours away, but is instead right down the hall whenever I need him. Oh who's kidding? He's not right down the hall, we're pretty much in the same room all the time.
On another note, I know a lot of people do a special giveaway post for their blogiversaries.
However, not only do I rarely participate in giveaways (mostly because of my lack of prizes) but I don't know the first thing about hosting one. Besides, I'd probably just want to rig the results so that I won the whatever-awesome-thing-I-should-give-to-someone-else and it ended up being mine forever to sit on a shelf in my dorm room and never be used.
So instead, I just babbled a lot and crossed my fingers that you laughed at my extreme wit and the fact that I am just an awesome person.
Kidding.
Kinda.
So I guess the essence of this post would be to thank you all for following my little blog and giving me words of encouragement and a funny story or two. Not only has my following increased from 3 to 26, but I have a place to express my thoughts and my life in my own little corner of the internet. And I love it.
I absolutely do.
